Re: help getting online with ps2
I presume when you say wireless receiver, you mean wireless router??
If so, you can connect the PS2 to this using the Sony network adaptor, and then be able to get online

Hi vampireX, to CF.
As MB says, you need the Sony Network Adaptor ( here).
That should sort you out.
Not sure if Amazon is the best price (or place) to buy it but if you go through the link on the main forum page (CF's affiliate link to Amazon) it will help the site

I don't think Sony actually make a wireless adaptor for the PS2, the O/P will need (something like) the Linksys GWGA54G Game Adapter.

Yes-having re read the post, it's clear I jumped the gun with the wireless suggestion! 
Sony still don;t make a wireless ethernet device though!

Re: help getting online with ps2
EITHER:
#1 - CAT5 crossover cable your PS2 to the network adaptor on your PC
OR:
#2 - CAT5 straight cable you PS2 into the Router
Option 1 will require the PC to be switched on.
Both options require slimline PS2 OR PS2+network adaptor AND a network access disc.
